Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

When my mother died on the FX 8320, I decided to try something else, a little colder, and a difficult choice began: do not change the RAM and buy a huangyan from China with something decent on Xeon v2 (Ivy), or switch to a fresh platform with the prospect upgrade. The price tag for the mother kits with the processor were approximately the same, the difference was only in the additional purchase of the DDR4 chopping block for 8 gigs. As a result, I decided not to feed the greedy Chinese, who sell necro-iron, although worthy, but unpromising for a future upgrade (the price tags for the Xeon V3-4 were especially raised), and bought this processor with the rest of the tripe. I didn’t need wild performance, because I’m not a schoolboy, I’m not a fan of modern games, everything is all MMO, there is no decent plot, but I wanted something colder: the counter has been twisting my wallet for a long time, and not my mother with a folder))) In multi-core this the processor is noticeably (according to tests, not sensations), but uncritically inferior to the past, but wins in single-threading and power consumption. Intel for a similar price does not have anything in sight. Plus, if you wish, you can easily upgrade in the future when the price of used stones of the level 2600\2700, 1600\1700 drops. By the way, the seven fits perfectly on it, practically without dancing with a tambourine. The processor is cold, so I remembered the days of my students: for a long time I did not use not tower monsters with tubes, but classic lotuses made of copper and aluminum. It remains to add to it something identical in speed, but two times colder than my 180-watt R9 270X stove, and I will be generally satisfied. ps I soldered my mother to 8320 - she works as a laborer at work 24/7, there is a free light =)

Pros
  • price, heat dissipation, performance per core
Cons
  • Well, for such a price, what to demand?
